I have 6 mid power rockets ready to go. I bought 13 composite motors yesterday from the local hobby shop. I have questions.....
All the kits were bought through Apogee. One complaint..... When a heat blanket is included it is SMALL.!! 6". Its difficult for me to squeeze the chute and shroud lines safely into the blanket. I need to order a 9x9 or a 12x12 protector unless you people can steer me differently.
This is a real beginner question here..... What is the sequence of loading the chute and the shock cord.?? And does the shock cord have to be protected too.?? I have 3 different shock cord materials..... Nylon, Kevlar and a wide elastic cord that is in the Estes Ventris.
I think I'll always combine the blanket with wadding too. Is that common.?? In summary......
Does the cord need to be protected.??
Does the blanket need to be bigger.??
What is the sequence of loading the cord and the chute.??
